    Hello,

    I have problems installing DBD:mysql on Red Hat Linux 9, either from CPAN,
    or mannual install. The error is the same, something related to this Kid.pm
    file under perl. Should I reinstall Perl? Perl came with Red Hat Linux 9
    installation. Please help.
    1.) from CPAN:

    perl -MCPAN -e shell

    cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.61)

    ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')

    cpan> install dbi

    CPAN: Storable loaded ok

    Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

    Database was generated on Sun, 17 Oct 2004 21:09:38 GMT

    Warning: Cannot install dbi, don't know what it is.

    Try the command

    i /dbi/

    to find objects with matching identifiers.

    cpan> install DBI

    DBI is up to date.

    cpan> install DBD::mysql

    I got many of these errors:

    Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm line 97.

    Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm line 97.

    ....

    Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Liblist/Kid.pm line 97.

    Multiple copies of Driver.xst found in:
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI/
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI/ at
    Makefile.PL line 295

    Using DBI 1.45 (for perl 5.008 on i386-linux-thread-multi) installed in
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI/

    Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql

    Makefile:89: *** missing separator. Stop.

    /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK

    Running make test

    Can't test without successful make

    Running make install

    make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

    2.) Manually install from source:

    download DBD-mysql-2.9003.tar, untar and run this:

    perl Makefile.PL

    I got exactly the same error as in 1.)
